Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool believe that if Mason Mount left Chelsea at the end of the season, then he would prefer to move to Anfield despite interest from Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United and Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United, according to 90min.
Liverpool believe Newcastle target Mason Mount prefers Anfield move
90min have reported that Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Newcastle United all are interested in signing Mount from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
Chelsea will hold further talks with the 24-year-old over a new deal and are determined to keep him at the club.
However, if the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners are unable to agree on a new deal in the coming weeks and months, then they will sell him, according to the report.
90min have reported that Liverpool are “particularly interested” interest in the midfielder, and that the Reds “believe that Mount would prefer to move to Anfield if he does leave Chelsea this summer, although Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle are all considering rival pursuits”.
Uncertainly
In our view, Liverpool should not take it for granted that the £80,000-a-week (The Daily Mail) Mason Mount would move to Anfield if he left Chelsea at the end of the season.
Manchester United and Manchester City are massive clubs, and Newcastle United are on the rise and could end up in the Premier League top four this season.
Yes, we know that Liverpool are a global brand and manager Jurgen Klopp has huge pulling power, but the Reds should not count their chickens before they hatch.
